STRATEGIC HR LEADERSHIP FORUM
An Executive Level Strategy Session for Human Resource Executives
We meet for 60 minutes on the second Thursday of every month.
Thursday, February 13th
08:30 am PT / 11:30 am ET
Join C-Sweet for peer-to-peer level conversations in a safe space where you can gain trusted insights, perspectives, and resources.
This roundtable is specifically geared to the most executive person within your HR department – the person who reports to the CEO, CFO or COO. Generally, this person will have experience in management and leading teams within Fortune 1000, middle-market and fast growth companies.
At this time, outside of sponsors and C-Sweet committee members, this program is closed to those not in Human Resources at the executive level.
Sessions are open to men and women nationally. This highly interactive roundtable meets monthly for an hour. Topics will be chosen by attendees. Given the confidential nature of the program, sessions will not be recorded.
This Strategic HR Leadership Forum will focus
on the relevance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in today’s workplace.
Content areas within upcoming Strategic HR Leadership Forums may include:
-
Creating and maintaining corporate culture
-
Developing bench strength
-
How to make a case for your budget: the metrics of the business
-
Want a seat in the boardroom? How to get on a corporate board.
